Ab initio and DFT theory studies of interaction of thymine with formaldehyde

In this article, the interaction of formaldehyde (FA) with thymine is theoretically investigated by computational chemistry methods. The optimization geometries and vibrational frequencies of FA, thymine and three complexes between thymine and FA have been calculated by using the density functional theory and ab initio methods at the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) and MP2/6-311G(d, p) levels. The NBO and AIM methods are used to analyse interaction as well. Conformers (A), (B) and (C) are cyclic structures with C–H***O and N–H***O hydrogen bonds on a common plane. The corrected complex interaction energies of cyclic structures (A), (B) and (C) at MP2/6-311G(d, p) levels are −38.41, −26.94 and −26.01 kJ/mol, respectively. The order of stability is (A) > (B) > (C).

First-principles study of the adsorption of formaldehyde on the clean and atomic oxygen covered Cu(1 1 1) surface

The interaction of formaldehyde with the clean and atomic oxygen-covered Cu(1 1 1) surfaces has been studied by means of cluster model density functional calculations in which Cu₂₂(14,8) is used to represent the perfect Cu(1 1 1) surface. The calculations point towards a η¹-H₂CO---O orientation with the oxygen atom almost on top of a copper surface atom. The formaldehyde adsorption energy is of 22–25 kJ/mol and the internal geometry of adsorbed formaldehyde is almost identical to that of the molecule in the gas-phase. The C---O bond is almost parallel to the surface and the conformation with the molecular plane normal to the surface is slightly preferred to the conformation with the molecular plane nearly parallel to the surface. A Cu₂₂---O model where atomic oxygen is adsorbed on a fcc hollow site was used to study the co-adsorption and reaction of formaldehyde with atomic oxygen. Oxygen co-adsorption has a dramatic effect on the formaldehyde adsorption energy which is increased by 50%. The calculated energy barrier for the formation of the dioxymethylene intermediate species through the H₂CO+O→H₂CO₂ reaction is of 36 kJ/mol.     

Morphology and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) and starch blends prepared by gelation/crystallization from solutions

 In an attempt to produce biodegradation materials, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–starch (ST) blends were prepared by gelation/crystallization from semidilute solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) and water mixtures and elongated up to 8 times. The content of mixed solvent represented as Me₂SO/H₂O (volume percent) was set to be 60/40 assuring the greatest drawability of PVA homopolymer films. The PVA/ST compositions chosen were 1/1, 1/3, and 1/5. The elongation up to 8 times could be done for the 1/1 blend but any elongation was impossible for blends whose ST content was beyond 50%. When the blends were immersed in water at 20 or 83 °C, the solubility became considerable for an undrawn blend with 1/5 composition and a drawn 1/1 blend with λ=8. To avoid this phenomenon, cross-linking of PVA chains was carried out by formalization under formaldehyde vapor. Significant improvement could be established by the cross-linking of PVA chains. For the 1/1 blend, the amount of ST dissolved in water at 23 °C was less than 3% for the undrawn state and 25% for the drawn film. The decrease in the ST content was enough for use as biodegradation materials. Namely, the water content relating to the biodegradation in soil is obviously different from such a serious experimental condition that a piece of blend film was immersed in a water bath. At temperatures above 0 °C, the storage modulus of the formalization blends became slightly higher than those of the nonformalization blends. The Young's modulus of the drawn films with a draw ratio of 8 times was 2 GPa at 20 °C. Received: 23 June 2000 Accepted: 30 October 2000     

Reagentless amperometric formaldehyde-selective biosensors based on the recombinant yeast formaldehyde dehydrogenase

Novel formaldehyde-selective amperometric biosensors were developed based on NAD(+)- and glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase isolated from a gene-engineered strain of the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha. Electron transfer between the immobilized enzyme and a platinized graphite electrode was established using a number of different low-molecular free-diffusing redox mediators or positively charged cathodic electrodeposition paints modified with Os-bis-N,N-(2,2'-bipyridil)-chloride ([Os(bpy)(2)Cl]) complexes. Among five tested Os-containing redox polymers of different chemical structure and properties, complexes of osmium-modified poly(4-vinylpyridine) with molecular mass of about 60 kDa containing diaminopropyl groups were selected. The positively charged cathodic paint exhibited the best electron-transfer characteristics. Moreover, the polymer layers simultaneously served as a matrix for keeping the negatively charged low-molecular cofactors, glutathione and NAD(+), in the bioactive layer. Additionally, covering the enzyme/polymer layer with a negatively charged Nafion membrane significantly decreased cofactors leakage and simultaneously enhanced the sensor' stability. The developed sensors revealed a high selectivity to formaldehyde (FA) and a low cross-sensitivity to other substances (such as, e.g. butyraldehyde, propionaldehyde, acetaldehyde, methylglyoxal). The maximum current value was 34.2+/-0.72 microA/mm(2) (3.05 mm diameter electrode) and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(M)(app)) derived from the FA calibration curves was 120+/-5mM with a linear detection range for FA up to 20mM. The best observed sensitivity for reagentless sensor was 1.8 nA microM(-1) (358 Am(-2)M(-1)). The developed sensors had a good operational and storage stability. The laboratory prototype of the sensor was applied for FA testing in some real samples of pharmaceutical (formidron), disinfectant (descoton forte) and industrial product (formalin). A good correlation was revealed between the concentration values measured using the developed FdDH-based sensor, an enzymatic method and standard chemical methods of FA determination.
